i feel the last one summarises it all that i’ve believed in life. i want to be happy, really want to be happy so that i can spread that happiness around. thanks for the affirmation. u might know how guilty it feels sometimes to run after happiness
Dont ever feel guilty of running after happiness – We can only cherish this life, which is the greatest gift of all, through smiles and joy. I read this quote and it always gives me inspiration – A happy heart goes all the way, a sad one tires after a mile… so keep smiling
